San Rafael is published by Rodolfo Camacho Ramirez. The magazine covers historical events, characters, personalities and sites of a bygone era in the canton. In his introduction of the publication, Mr. Camacho begins by saying, “A community that does not know its past cannot understand its present; therefore, it can’t set a path to the future.”

According to Camacho, the publication focuses on the past while covering a wide range of topics and activities from education and religion to sports, recreation and business. By virtue of its traits, San Rafael is a collectible to be used as a learning platform for generations to come.
